3. How many casualties?
Over 1800 people died and thousands of others were hurt
4. Who was to blame?
two ships involved, the Imo and the Mont-Blanc, they were unsure who was to
blame. Was the fault in the hands of Captain From of the Imo, exiting the basin
through the narrows, in haste to make up lost time? Or did the fault lie with
Captain LeMedec, pushing the unflagged Mont-Blanc with its large cargo of
explosives into the narrows, that caused the disaster?
